Scotland’s Speciality Food & Drink Show will make its annual return to the SEC in Glasgow from 18–20 January 2026. This premier event draws farm shops, delis, restaurants, and food outlets keen to source the nation’s finest produce, alongside a vibrant programme of expert talks, masterclasses, and panel discussions.
As reported by Asian Trader, the show promises industry insights into retail trends for 2026, digital marketing, packaging changes, and the importance of Scottish provenance. Attendees can enjoy lively product pitch sessions in Nessie’s Den and explore hundreds of regional exhibitors, from emerging artisan brands to trusted favourites.
Emma Niven of Loch Leven’s Larder captures the event’s appeal: “The buying team from the Larder always enjoys visiting this show. It’s brilliant to be able to see some of Scotland’s finest from both the food side and gift, under one roof! We always source some great new companies and place healthy orders with existing companies.”
Show Director Mark Saunders adds: “Scotland is well known for its fine food and drinks and we aim to showcase the best of them to our visitors, who can range from farm shop owners to restaurants, tourist outlets to hotels, supermarkets to small delis. Beyond the products, it’s a place to network, learn and connect so 18–20 Jan should be firmly fixed in every food retailer or catering outlet’s diary.”
Registration is now open for those wishing to attend this must-go event for anyone in Scottish food and drink retail.
